Soccer 4 Fun: Jersey Day and Same Team Requests

Jersey Day

Thanks to the arrival of our Tim Hortons' jerseys, we are able to offer a jersey day this year, prior to the opening nights of Soccer 4 Fun!

Note this is for the age groups of Tots up to U10 only. U11-U13 will get their jerseys on the field after evaluations to ensure teams are even.

Jersey Day will take place on Saturday, June 15th from 10am-2pm at Paradise Intermediate school on Dianne Whalen Drive.

Please enter the front door of the school and follow the carpet to the left to enter the cafeteria.

Same Team Requests

Every year we are inundated with requests for players to be placed on teams together with friends, the main reason being for car pooling purposes. Please note that carpooling will always be possible regardless of which team they play on as our program is run at one location and one time slot for any given birth year regardless of team placement. 

We do want to allow the opportunity, where it is warranted, to make friend requests through our online request form (link below). Our staff will not be permitted to entertain any requests at the field the day Soccer 4 Fun starts or anytime after that.  While we will do our best to accommodate requests submitted by the deadline (Tuesday June 11th 11:59pm) we cannot promise to do so.

For Tots and Fundamentals - Players born 2021 to 2016 are permitted to request to be on a team with one or two players maximum, and only by mutual consent between both children involved.

For REC Leagues - Players born 2011 to 2015 are only permitted to request to be on a team with one other player maximum, and again, only by mutual consent between both children involved. Requests may not be possible if they interfere with the creation of balanced teams.

Please refrain from making requests unless your child has experienced anxiety or social issues. We ask that you only make requests if you think it is necessary for your child to participate in the sessions. As mentioned, Carpooling is not a valid reason for requests, as all children in the same age group will always be on the same field at the same time, so there is no need to request to be on the same team in that situation. They can still carpool if on different teams. Also please understand that for Tots and Fundamentals just because a child has the same jersey colour as a friend, this does not mean they will be together the whole session. Groups/Colours are split up into mini teams when games are played, which will vary from one day to the next. If your child has social anxiety or is just really shy and you feel that being with a friend or two is essential for them to participate, we are willing to accommodate for that reason.

All requests must be made through our Online Request Form -Click Here to Make a Request. Please ensure you are submitting the form using the correct age group section.

If your child really needs to be with a friend, we will do our very best to accommodate that request. Deadline to add your request into this form is by Tuesday June 11th 11:59pm.  When making a request you will be asked to confirm that you have consent of the parents of the one child (for Rec Leagues - 2015 and earlier birth years) or maximum two children (for Tots and Fundamentals 2016 to 2021 birth years) other than your own. You will also be asked to provide their email address for verification. That being said, only one person needs to make a request on behalf of the families involved.
